Arnold Schwaighofer edf4461ba3 IRGen: Marking inout parameter NoAlias at the LLVM level is not memory safe ...

We have to guarantee memory safety in the presence of the user violating the
inout assumption.  Claiming NoAlias for parameters that might alias is not
memory safe because LLVM will optimize based on that assumption.

Unfortunately, this means that llvm can't optimize arrays as aggressively. For
example, the load of array->buffer won't get hoisted out of loops (this is the
Sim2DArray regression below).

Continue emitting noalias for inout when compiling Ounchecked.
